Aliens, Foreigners, & Sojourners
“All these people died still believing what God had promised to them. They did not receive what was promised to them, but they saw it all from a distance and welcomed it. They agreed that they were foreigners and nomads here on earth. Obviously, people who say such things are looking forward to a country…

In 2023 alone, I have counted at least 7 different changes that are headed my way. They seem to be washing over me like a flood. There are moments (you know, the good ones where I’m actually focused on Jesus) when I’m just excited and smile thinking about it all. And then there are moments…

You are better than me.
My desire to be right has often trumped my desire to be kind. Looking back on seasons of my life, I can see countless moments where this behavior has damaged or even ruined my relationships with others. The majority of arguments in my marriage, family, and friendships have been because I thought it was important…

Open Hands, Open Arms & Open Heart
Welcome back to this week’s episode of: “What is the Lord teaching me today?” This is quickly becoming something my heart craves: a moment with the keyboard, my thoughts, and Jesus. I know that someday, I’m going to look back on these articles and cringe, but today is not someday. I’ve been spending a lot…

Women Are Work
Ladies, let’s face it: We just are. We are conditioned to believe that we are competing with one another not cooperating with one another.

Yes & Amen

Gentleness & Judgement
I do not have a gentle and quiet spirit, and I judge judgmental people. Basically, I’m a loud hypocrite. Today is about discussing the things God is doing in my heart right now, and these are the most glaring. “Judge not lest ye be judged.” We’ve all heard the words of Jesus come out of…

Vulnerability & Rejection
“Hi. My name is Aubri and God is recovering me from fear of abandonment and co-dependency.”

Done, Doing, Will Do
Testimony. What does that word even mean? The above definitions in the picture do not exactly help explain the meaning. English is whack and yet that is what my Master’s degree is in. Why is it that so many words have multiple meanings? Honestly, the best part of this entire picture is the bottom where…

Rainbow-Unicorn-Butterflies
Have you seen de-motivational posters? They are hilarious. This one on optimism got me good. Articles on toxic-positivity keep popping up in my feeds, and I would say that I’m surprised, but let’s be honest, if you know me, you are probably thinking: “Well, that’s appropriate!” One of my co-workers dubbed me the cotton-candy tornado.…
